Take a plane to the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 276 Negotiation II

The reason for saying this is that Zhu Changyuan is the minister appointed by the imperial court. Although he is not the governor of the three sides, he is a majestic envoy of Shaanxi and is also a high official in the frontier. After all, he is the master, and Li Zicheng is just a guest.

The envoy bowed his hands to Zhu Changyuan, and said with a smile: "The general's reputation spreads far and wide in China, and my family Chuang Wang admires it very much. He knows that it is not easy for the general to come to Shaanxi after working hard all the way. I don't want to be an enemy of the general. I am here to discuss peace !"

The person who came was called Hu Jialin, and he was a civil servant on Li Zicheng's side. He was always good at speaking, so he was sent here as an envoy to make peace.

Originally, he didn't want to make peace, especially after accepting the word "surrender" shot by Zhu Changyuan, Li Zicheng was quite annoyed. If he hadn't been concerned about Zhu Changyuan's habit of fighting, he would have fought decisively with him long ago.

Even so, after Zhu Changyuan surrounded the entire Chang'an Mansion, he also sent several waves of cavalry to harass him, but the result was the same as the rumors said, Zhu Changyuan's cavalry was invincible.

Later, even though there were a large number of soldiers in the city, Li Zicheng had no choice but to send someone to negotiate peace with Zhu Changyuan.

"Please come in." Zhu Changyuan made a gesture of invitation, and invited Hu Jialin into his tent.

For Li Zicheng's peace negotiation, he naturally couldn't ask for it. Compared with Liaodong, Shaanxi is also a big pit. If you want to rely on two hundred cavalry to bring down the entire Shaanxi or Li Zicheng's army, it is not difficult, but in that way, the task If he couldn't finish it, he even made wedding clothes for Chongzhen, so he was naturally unwilling.

The most urgent task now is to stabilize Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai, and then it is best to carry out your own plan without any opposition or even support from the two. If it can be successful, not only the civil unrest in Shaanxi can be solved without breaking out, but also, The most important thing is to brush up your reputation and get a reward or something.

Invited Hu Jialin to his tent, asked him to sit down, and said, "Why, is Zicheng willing to surrender? If so, it is really a blessing for the imperial court and the people of the world!"

Zhu Changyuan also knew that it was impossible for Li Zicheng to surrender, so saying this was nothing more than taking the initiative in words, a negotiation strategy, and only by giving himself more room for detours could he get more benefits in the negotiation.

Especially in this situation where I am killing people for fish!
"General, you are joking!" Hu Jialin smiled wryly, cupped his hands at Zhu Changyuan, and said, "Although my Chuang Wang is currently trapped here, he is in a corner, but according to the current affairs of the world, who is the destiny is unknown!"

"If!" Seeing Zhu Changyuan's calm expression, Hu Jialin said again: "With the talent of a general, if he submits to my family's King Chuang, he will win the world in the future, even if the general cracks the earth and seals the king!"

This is a good time, as soon as Zhu Changyuan opened his mouth, the peace talks over there turned into persuasion.

No wonder, although Zhu Changyuan is well-known, Li Zicheng is not an idler, especially in the battles against Yang Sichang, Hong Chengchou, and Sun Chuanting in Shaanxi. Everyone thought that he was beaten and left alone. Hundreds of thousands of troops were called overnight.

As a result, many superstitious lower-class peasants blindly believed that Li Zicheng was born to be the emperor's destiny, that if he survived a catastrophe, he would have a future blessing, and he would definitely be able to rule the world in the future.

This has resulted in Li Zicheng's internal unity and unity.At the same time, he was also very arrogant, even the rosy fat man in front of him, who was familiar with poetry and books, dared to persuade Zhu Changyuan to surrender.

Zhu Changyuan smiled and shook his head.

"Even though Mr. Zhu has heard of the name of King Chuang, but after becoming a clan, the Emperor Taizu's fortune is so difficult. How could he be that unworthy descendant, so don't mention the matter of obedience again."

"The general came here this time to appease Shaanxi. It would be easy if Zicheng returned to the imperial court. Otherwise, he would have to burn everything. Let Zicheng lead the army to see whether he is the king of the king or the general's iron cavalry is better." one chip?"

Surrender can only be someone else and me, asking me to surrender to the enemy is a joke.

If he didn't kick the red-faced fat man in front of him, it would be an extrajudicial favor.

"General calm down, general calm down!"

Hu Jialin said: "General, my lord, you are the appeasement envoy of Shaanxi. King Chuang of my family has no intention of fighting for power here. King Chuang sent me here to negotiate peace with you, General. In the future, General will act in Shaanxi. My Chuangwang family will try their best to support."

Zhu Changyuan waved his hand, put on airs, and said: "Hmph, peace negotiation, didn't I say surrender, why did it become a peace negotiation?"

"No!" Hu Jialin's face was normal, serious, and said: "General, don't bully people too much, you must know that rabbits will bite people when they are anxious. My Chuang Wang is not defeated by the general, nor is Zhang Xianzhong, Sun Xiaofeng and others comparable. Chuang Wang is a lieutenant general." There are countless talents, and if everyone dies and fights back, even if the fish cannot be killed and the net is broken, the general may not be able to reap the benefits!"

Holding the teacup, Zhu Changyuan drank two sips of tea leisurely, thought for a while, but looked at Hu Jialin calmly on his face, and said: "If Zicheng is really interested in fighting this general, this general would like to Give up your life to accompany the gentleman!"

"Huh!" Kong He stepped forward, stood in front of Hu Jialin in a majestic manner, and said loudly, "Shuzi, dare you! My two hundred brothers are fighting against each other every night. If they are self-sufficient, even if they come with an army of one hundred thousand, there will be another one." why not?"

The words were so loud that Hu Jialin was also frightened for a while.

However, Hu Jialin was on a mission after all, even though the two were fighting, he still had to stand up, bowed to Zhu Changyuan, and said: "General, it's not that I, Hu, don't give the general face. The bottom line of King Chuang of my family is like this, what can I do? If the general insists on going his own way to provoke a war in Shaanxi, I am afraid that King Chuang will not be weak."

After finishing speaking, he bowed his hands to Kong Hegong again, flicked his sleeves, and said, "Farewell!"

"Stop!" Zhu Changyuan stood up and said to Hu Jialin's pudgy back: "Sir, if you want to leave, I will take a word to Li Zicheng for the general, and say: I am ordered by the emperor to appease Shaanxi. I didn't intend to use force. Cheng has the heart to negotiate a peace, and tomorrow he will send someone to send 10 taels of silver to show his sincerity."

"If there is no intention to discuss peace!" Zhu Changyuan's voice suddenly became cold, and he said softly: "I would not mind letting him repeat the old things of Zhang Xianzhong!"

"Farewell!"

After finishing speaking, Hu Jialin bowed to Zhu Changyuan, then withdrew and went out.

Seeing Hu Jialin go, Kong He stepped forward with a puzzled expression, and asked Zhu Changyuan, "General, why don't you let your subordinates lead the troops and fight him with Li Zicheng? Why do you still need to negotiate peace?"

"At this moment, the stakes are very high, so we can't act recklessly!" Zhu Changyuan finished speaking softly, and sat down on his seat.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he sat down, he heard Kong He start to complain, saying: "The subordinates thought that there was no need for this at all. With the general's prestige and the bravery of the soldiers, they can conquer Zicheng with one effort. Once Chang'an is captured, Luo Rucai will be attacked next time. In this way, the land of Shaanxi will be at peace!"

The more Zhu Changyuan listened, the darker his face became.

Angrily, he pressed the cup in his hand on the table in front of him with a "bang", and said, "Let me ask you, defeat Zicheng today, defeat Luo Rucai tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow if someone rises again in Shaanxi, what should we do?"

"Kill him!" Kong He finished speaking with a ruthless expression, completely ignoring Zhu Changyuan's increasingly dark complexion, and continued: "The old saying says that if you kill all the soldiers of Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai, there will be no one in the future." Dare to rebel!"

"Fart!" Zhu Changyuan couldn't help being furious, stood up and said, "Let me ask you, do you know why the people in Shaanxi are willing to follow Zicheng to be a traitor instead of a good citizen?"

Hearing Zhu Changyuan's words, and seeing his boss's complexion so dark, Kong He couldn't help trembling in his heart, and couldn't explain why after talking for a long time.

To be honest, when he came here, all he could think about was how to defeat Li Zicheng, how to stage a thousand-mile pursuit again, and then lead the whole family to have fun, and at the same time prove his bravery and honor to the world with his achievements.

As for how to deal with the disaster victims in Shaanxi, and why so many people followed Zicheng to rebel, he couldn't explain why.

"Short-sighted!" Zhu Changyuan cursed, took another sip of water, and said sternly: "The people in Shaanxi have not harvested grain for years, and there are countless folks who eat each other. If there is a morsel of food, who would be willing to put his head on it?" Rebellion on the belt?"

"Today is self-contained, killing millions of people, and tomorrow those people will have no food to eat, and they will rise up in the same way, and this will happen again and again. Do you want this general to kill all the people in Sichuan and Shaanxi?" Zhu Changyuan asked rhetorically.

The land of Shaanxi is no better than Jingxiang!
Huguang is not in fact a disaster, whether it is the bandits hiding in the mountains or the big villains hiding in Yunyang, Gucheng, they just want to take advantage of the weak Ming Dynasty. The soldiers under them are not short of food and clothing. When Zhu Changyuan showed his bloody wrist, it would definitely work.

But Shaanxi is different, Nima has nothing to eat, knowing that there is a knife in front of her, as long as she can have a full meal, death is worth it!Either starve to death, or eat enough before being killed by others, multiple-choice question, most people should choose the latter.

So, that is to say, if the food problem of millions of people in Shaanxi cannot be solved, no amount of war will be in vain.

Doesn't Zhu Changyuan want to make contributions and beat Li Zicheng into a ghost?

Of course I want to, but are these useful?

It's useless!

He believed that once the food problem of most common people in Shaanxi was solved, even if they were only given one meal a day, as long as they did not starve to death, the disaster of Li Zicheng in Shaanxi would disappear.

After all, the common people in China have been accustomed to submissiveness since ancient times. Oppression and exploitation are fine, as long as they don't go too far, they can bear it.

"I'll ask you again!" Zhu Changyuan walked slowly in front of Kong He, who was kneeling on the ground, and said softly: "You and Li Zicheng's troops also fought three or four times, what's the difference between his soldiers and Zhang Xianzhong's soldiers?
